You've asked to different questions - you can use IndexReader.numDocs () to find the total number of documents.

Within a date range - how did you index the dates? If the dates are in lexicographical order, you can walk all the terms in that range using TermEnum from IndexReader.terms(Term t) where t is the first term in the date range. You will then need to get the termDocs(t) for each of the matching terms. So it is possible without a search.

Is it possible to count the total number of documents in the index
without requesting a search? I would like to count the total documents
in the index within a date range.

Thanks,
